[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by swknox Ok guys and girls. I have heard that this is a mid - atlantic only food. You can't get it anywhere else in the country except for Delaware, Maryland, certain parts of Virginia, and certain parts of Pennsylvania that I know of. Scrapple. If you don't know what it is than you don't want to know. It's made from a pig, everything thats from a pig goes into making scrapple. I know some of you are ready to heave but its taste great. It just helps to take a few years off of your life. In the old days they would take all the stuff from inside the pig - put it into the skull and boil it and some how make it that way - I don't know how it is made in the "modern era" . [/quote] This sounds like something we have here in the midwest/great lakes region. Its called "head cheese". All the unused inards of the hog, chopped up and boiled down inside the head "skull". The result , I suspect from all the collagen, comes out in a gelatine like form. I have never had the stomach to try it, but the "old timers" eat it right up. Some of the more exotic things I have sampled: Bear, alligator, rattle snake, sundried squid - kind of like chewing salty rubber, and more common wild game like whitetail deer, elk, carribou, ducks, geese, pheasant, etc. I havn't gotten the guts (pun intended[}:)]) to try it yet, but we have a local restaurant that will serve authentic haggis, if given 24 hour notice. Maybe someday I will have the stomach to "have the stomach" (for those who know what haggis is). Admiral
